Initial reports were that the two teens, along with a third person, were involved in an argument with a 39-year-old man.

The man told police he was being beaten with a small baseball bat. He said he was hit at least 20 or 30 times. At one point, he was being held by Bell from behind and continually being struck by Miller.

He told investigators he "felt that he was going to pass out and thought that if he passed out he might get hurt real bad or killed." He then pulled his gun from his waistband and fired first at Miller and then reached around his body to shoot Bell, who was still holding him around the neck from behind.

The DA's office has concluded that the man, a licensed concealed-carry holder, was acting in self-defense during the struggle and therefore will not be charged in the incident.

The third person with the teens was arrested, accused of battery, but charges against him have not been decided yet.

WISN 12 News has learned several witnesses and a cellphone video back up the maintenance man's account.

Community activist Tory Lowe helped organize a vigil at the scene the night of the shooting and said it appears the shootings were justified. However, he said, it would help the community if the video shot by a witness was released to the public.

"If they have video, they should release it to the public so we can move forward, so everyone can know the reasoning behind this decision," Lowe said.

Bell was in the building to visit his aunt, Donnette Williams, who saw the fighting but didn't see the shooting. She maintains the maintenance man had other options and told WISN 12 News reporter Nick Bohr, "I am scared for my own safety because I'm a witness. He was aiming to shoot them."

Miller's family told WISN 12 News on Wednesday night that it is upset with the decision, but didn't want to comment any further.
